Ingredients:

3 tbsps

Unsalted Butter

Directions:

1

For the osso buco: Put the flour in a large shallow platter and season it with a fair amount of salt and pepper

2

Get in the habit of always tasting your flour; once it coats the veal it is harder to adjust the seasoning

3

Dredge the veal shanks in the seasoned flour and then tap off the excess (extra flour will burn and make the dish off-tasting)

4

Heat a large Dutch oven over medium heat and hit it with a 3-count drizzle of oil

5

Add the butter and swirl it around the pan to melt

6

Sear the veal shanks, turning carefully with tongs, until all sides are a rich brown caramel color

7

Drizzle with a little more oil, if needed

8

(Do this in batches if the shanks are big and look crowded in the pot

9

) Remove the browned veal shanks to a side plate

10

There will be a lot of flavor left over in the bottom of the pot

11

You''re going to use that to create your sauce

12

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F

13

Using the same pot, sautee the onion, celery, carrots, lemon zest, garlic, bay leaves, and parsley over medium heat

14

Cook the vegetables down until they start to get some color and develop a deep, rich aroma

15

Season with salt and pepper; add a little oil if needed

16

Nestle the veal shanks back in the pot

17

Pour in the amarone wine and let it simmer down for 20 minutes, until the wine has reduced by half

18

Reducing is key for intense flavor

19

Add the beef broth and tomatoes and stir everything together

20

Cover the pot and put it in the oven

21

Braise for 1 and a 1/2 hours

22

Then remove the cover and continue to cook for another 30 minutes

23

The sauce should be thick and the veal tender and nearly falling off the bone

24

Remove bay leaves

25

For the gremolata: F, finely chop and smashe the anchovy fillet roughly chop the pine nuts, dried cranberries and combine

26

Anchovy, Combine this with the and garlic together in a mini chopper or with a mortar and pestle

27

Fold that into the orange zest and parsley

28
